Orazio Riminaldi

Orazio Riminaldi (1593 – 1630) was an obscure Italian painter who painted a couple of real masterpieces. This is the most famous, The Martyrdom of Saint Cecilia. 

Riminaldi was born and learned to paint in Pisa, and he died in Pisa, but the most active part of his career seems to have been spent in Rome. 

Self portrait. This was the era of Caravaggio, and Riminaldi was obviously influenced by the Caravaggist movement.

Riminaldi died at 37, apparently of the plague. This was at least five years after St. Cecilia, and he did nothing that really compares in the interval. So did his death deprive us more masterpieces, or was did only have a few great works in him?

I suspect he had much more to give,

because of this study for the Assumption of the Virgin, a work being prepared for Pisa's cathedral, which was completed by others, including his brother, because of Riminaldi's death.
